Game Day Round 4: Carlton v Melbourne (12/04/14)

[RandB]

AFL PREVIEW

 

[Captain Jack]

Have at it. Remember it's a 1:45 start if you're getting along... Stupid time slot, but there you go.

 

[d33my]

Not a bad day for it. Prefer the earlier time slot actually.

 

[Darksidepoints]

I was supposed to go, but have completely stuffed my calf muscle and can barely walk.

On second thought, maybe its for the best.

I would love to see us win, if only for the sheer meltdown at Carlton land.

 

[Headless]

This is how I would line up today:


F: C Yarran; L Hendersen; M Robinson
B: D Terlich; T McDonald; J Grimes

HF: D Ellard; L Casboult; B Gibbs
HB: M Jones; C Pedersen; L Dunn

C: K Simpson; E Curnow; D Thomas
C: B Vince; D Cross; D Tyson

HB: A Everitt; S Rowe; D Buckley
HF: J Watts; J Frawley; J Viney

B: A Walker; M Jamison; Z Tuohy
F: J Howe; C Dawes; J Kennedy-Harris

R: R Warnock; P Cripps; M Murphy
R: J Spencer; N Jones; J McKenzie

I/C: A Carrazzo; K Lucas; T Menzel; H Scotland
I/C: A Georgiou; R Bail; D Kent; [M Evans]

 

[Hayes4PM]

Please send Carlton to 0-,4 if for nothing else then for the Malthouse press conference/massacre.


EDIT: for goof

 

[Dez!]

For the love of God don't make Kennedy-Harris the sub, give him a full f***ing game.

Pickles has been named sub so JKH to get a start finally

I could almost be happy with Melbourne season no matter what happens from here if we win today

No idea who Pickles is but I'm just relieved that JKH finally gets to play a full damn game.

 

[RandB]

Evans as sub is logical. It's about time JKH gets 4 quarters.

We also have a dedicated mid to bring on late in the game now.

 

[Blackas87]

Mitch Robinson out apparently (scared), pity I wanted to see Nat Jones smash him.

 

[CM Sean]

Yep, Robinson is out. Good Riddance!

FINAL INTERCHANGES
Carlton: Dylan Buckley, Heath Scotland, David Ellard

[SuburbanMe]

still amusing that the game preview on the MFC site predicts carlton by 20.

Way to Back yourselves MFC!

(I know it was ripped straight from the afl site)

 

[SuburbanMe]

St Kilda had most of their top tier players out, and they handed us our arses. Don't get too hopeful guys.

 

[Topkent]

Carlton are close to there best with only Judd and Kreuzer off the top of my head

Hopeful of a good show so
We will get done by 86

No Robinson, Waite, Garlett, Bell. I dunno. I would be surprised because Melbourne actually winning would surprise me but...stranger things have happened.

 

[rhaz]

Full game for JKH

 

[Blackas87]

On paper Carlton's lineup doesn't look much better than ours. Our midfield of Nat Jones, Tyson, Viney, Vince and Cross against Murphy, Cripps, Cunrow, Simpson and Thomas, could be a good battle.

Just need you guys to show up and it will be a good game. Please repair my weekend.

 

[RandB]

Got a feeling Garlett and Waite would have had a day out today. Nice they're out but it just means someone else will enjoy the spoils instead.

 

[Dory_77]

Hopefully it's a closeish game and we can snatch it. Might find somewhere to watch it (not on FTA in ACT) but it's not going to be pretty. We really need to start well. Carlton are going to come out firing you'd think so we've got to be able to hold on or get in front ourselves and blunt their attacks. Gonna have to kick super straight at goals too if we want a win.

I'm almost slightly optimistic about this game. Hopefully this feeling can be preserved for more than five minutes in the first.

 

[rhaz]

Anyone else listening to Triple M? Roosy is doing a really good, honest and quite passionate interview. He's up and about.

Fiercely defensive on the Tyson/Salem trade, really defending the shuffling of the decks (Howe down back etc). Worth a listen if there's a podcast or whatever.

Interesting that he said we wouldn't have taken Kelly if we kept pick 2.

 

[mrmonkey]

Yep, Robinson is out. Good Riddance!

I'm not sure if I would prefer Robinson in or out. On one hand he is a psycho, on the other he bombs away and turns it over often. Carlton fans have been screaming out for this graham fellow.

He has red hair. 'nuff said.
